E-Waste Recycling & Disposal
Old computers, cables, monitors, and dead electronics piling up? I take the e-waste most transfer stations turn away, haul it to a certified New Hampshire recycler, and keep it out of the landfill. Drop it off, or I'll come get it.
How It Works
Easy to Drop Off. Easy to Recycle Right.
Most transfer stations only take small amounts, charge per item, and serve their own town's residents only. I take the e-waste they turn away and handle the rest, so you don't have to think about it.
Tell Me What You've Got
Text or call with a rough list, or just snap a photo of the pile. No scales, no guessing games. I'll give you a flat rate up front so you know exactly what it costs before anything changes hands.
Drop It Off or Schedule a Pickup
Bring it by, or I'll come get it for a flat travel fee. For pickups I schedule a few days out so I can plan the trip, which keeps the cost down and the process smooth for both of us.
Optional: Certified Data Destruction
Got old hard drives you want gone for good? For a flat $25 per drive I'll have them physically destroyed and hand you a certificate of destruction for each one. It's an optional add-on. Recycling on its own does not include wiping, so if you skip it you're responsible for clearing your own data first. For phones and tablets, a factory reset before drop-off is the best free option.
Hauled to a Certified NH Recycler
Once I've gathered a full load, it goes to Aurum Recovery Group in Goffstown, NH, a family-run recycler with more than 30 years in the business and a dedicated dismantling and shredding facility.
Kept Out of the Landfill
Everything is dismantled, sorted, and responsibly recycled right here in New Hampshire. Nothing gets quietly dumped or shipped overseas, which means the hazardous materials inside old electronics are handled the right way.
What I Take
If It Plugs In, There's a Good Chance I Take It
I focus on the everyday electronics that pile up in closets, basements, and offices. Anything roughly household-printer sized or smaller is fair game.
Computers, Laptops & Servers
Towers, all-in-ones, laptops, and small servers, working or dead.
Keyboards, Mice & Peripherals
Webcams, speakers, docks, hubs, and the rest of the desk clutter.
Phones, Tablets & MP3 Players
Cell, home, and business phones, tablets, PDAs, and old media players.
Cables, Cords & Chargers
The tangle of wires, power adapters, and chargers nobody knows what to do with.
Networking Gear
Routers, switches, modems, access points, and other IT equipment.
Monitors & A/V Equipment
Flat-panel monitors, receivers, and audio/visual components.
DVD, Blu-ray & VHS Players
Disc and tape players, plus other legacy home media gear.
Game Consoles & Handhelds
Home consoles and portable systems. (Full arcade cabinets excluded.)
Test, IT & Small Medical
Test equipment and small medical devices, with no fluids or bio-hazard material.
Also welcome
Household printers (priced below) and tangled holiday string lights. A normal box of lights folds into your drop-off; large quantities are quoted by the load.
What I can't take
Loose batteries of any kind (UPS, lead-acid, rechargeable packs), large appliances (refrigerators, microwaves, air conditioners), industrial equipment, arcade cabinets, electric motors and transformers, CRT and large-screen TVs, and anything bigger than a household printer. Not sure about an item? Send me a photo and I'll let you know.
Battery recycling coming later. I'm not set up to take batteries safely just yet, so please keep loose batteries out of your drop-off for now.
Pricing
Simple, Flat-Rate Pricing
Priced per item, quoted up front, no weighing or surprises. Larger loads and business cleanouts get a custom quote.
Drop-Off Rates
What happens to your data and your devices
Your data: recycling does not include wiping your devices. Unless you add Certified Data Destruction above or use my Secure Drive Erase service, you're responsible for removing your own data before drop-off. For phones and tablets, a factory reset is the best free option. Devices that are dead or too damaged to wipe are accepted as-is under the e-waste terms.
A second life when it makes sense: some equipment still has good years left in it. Rather than scrap everything, I may securely wipe and refurbish usable devices so they're reused instead of destroyed, and anything resold has its storage securely erased first. The one exception: if you pay for Certified Data Destruction, that drive is always physically destroyed and never reused.
Commercial & Bulk
Office Cleanouts, School & Business Lots
Clearing out a fleet of old machines, a storage room, or a whole office? I handle business and bulk lots that transfer stations turn away from commercial drop-offs. These are quoted per job:
- $150 minimum per job so the trip is always worth making
- Per-item pricing on top at the same rates above, once the load is bigger than the minimum
- Mileage past 10 miles at $2 per mile round trip from Littleton
You pay the $150 minimum or the itemized total, whichever is higher. Optional certified data destruction is $25 per drive with a certificate for each, which businesses retiring computers often want. Get in touch for a quote.
Example: 35 computers picked up 15 miles away works out to $40 mileage plus the itemized total, far above the minimum, so you'd pay the itemized total. A couple of bins of cords from a mile down the road falls under the minimum, so it'd be the flat $150.
Peace of Mind
Certified Data Destruction
Recycling an old computer is only half the job. The data on the drive is the part that actually keeps people up at night. As an optional add-on, for $25 per drive I'll have your hard drives physically destroyed at a certified recycler and hand you a certificate of destruction for each one, so there is no question your information is gone. It's the kind of thing small businesses, anyone offloading an old work machine, and folks worried about identity theft genuinely value, and it's something no transfer station offers.
A few honest notes: destruction is priced per drive and covers the drives listed on your receipt. Many phones, tablets, and newer laptops store data on chips soldered to the board, with no removable drive, so for those a factory reset before drop-off is your best protection and anything too broken to reset is accepted as-is. I don't open Apple devices, so for Macs I can only destroy a drive you've already removed.
Just want your data securely wiped so you can keep, sell, or hand down the device? That's a different service. See Secure Drive Erase.
